Wikiquote:Quote of the day/February 4, 2013

I knowmyself as mortal, but this raises the question: "What is I?" Am I an individual, or am I an evolvinglifestream composed of countless selves? … As one identity, I was born in AD 1902. But as AD twentieth-century man, I am billions of years old. The life I consider as myself has existed though past eons with unbroken continuity. Individuals are custodians of the life stream — temporal manifestations of far greater being, forming from and returning to their essence like so many dreams.
